In 1992, a memorial was built for the nine U.S. Marines from Massachuchsetts who died in the Beirut bombing. The Massachuchsetts Beirut Memorial is located next to the Christopher Columbus Park in Boston. The Memorial has a circular granite-seating wall.

On the wall it reads: "Massachuchsetts Beirut Memorial - Dedicated to the nine Massachuchsetts Marines who lost their lives in Beirut, Lebanon 23 October 1983. Blessed are the Peacekeepers."

The First Duty is to Remember

The BVA was established in 1992 by Beirut veterans who wanted a fraternal organization.
They are dedicated to keeping the memories alive of those comrades who paid the supreme sacrifice in supporting America’s quest for peace in Lebanon.
